Dermal Fillers/Volume Restoration

There are many treatments available to help replace lost volume and restore contours to the skin to smooth away facial folds and wrinkles. The areas most often treated include the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and lip enhancement.

The Center offers many options for volume restoration (also known as 'skin plumping') – your provider will determine what is best for you during a personal consultation.

What is Juvederm? Juvederm® is an injectable gel that replaces the hyaluronic acid your skin has lost, temporarily restoring its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm is a quick procedure done in the office and you will see the difference immediately!

Is Juvederm Right For Me? Juvederm is used on all skin types in both males and females. Juvederm is used typically to smooth out facial wrinkles and folds, often called the "parentheses" lines around your mouth. Juvederm should not be used in patients who have severe allergies or allergies to Gram-positive bacterial proteins. The safety of Juvederm has not been established for use during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or for patients under the age of 18. Also, if patients are on a daily aspirin or ibuprofen, you should inform your provider, as you may experience increased bruising or bleeding.

What Can I Expect Right After Treatment? Results of Juvederm can be seen immediately with no downtime! The most common side effects are mild, but may include temporary redness at the injection site, swelling, pain or tenderness, lumps or bumps and bruising. Patients should stay away from excessive sun or extreme cold weather until the initial swelling or redness is gone.

What Can I Expect Over Time? Juvederm goes under your skin to instantly smooth out the wrinkles and folds on your face – and these results may last up to a year!

What are Restylane & Perlane? Restylane® and Perlane® are cosmetic dermal fillers that replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds),

Are Restylane and Perlane Right For Me? Your provider will decide which product is right for you based on an evaluation of your facial wrinkles and folds. Patients should avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements prior to treatment, because they may increase bleeding or bruising at the injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores or bad allergies, you should discuss this with your provider prior to receiving treatment.

What Can I Expect Right After Treatment? As with all injections, some patients may experience discomfort. After your treatment, you might have some swelling and redness. This will normally last less than seven days. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur.

What Can I Expect Over Time? Restylane and Perlane are proven to deliver long-lasting results for about six months, with some patients seeing results up to 9-12 months. These products are eventually broken down and eliminated by the body, unlike permanent fillers.
